"Indiana Supreme Court Decision Impacts John Rust's Senate Bid and Gubernatorial Race"

The Indiana Supreme Court has ruled against John Rust, a Republican candidate for the U.S. Senate seat, in an appeal related to his primary eligibility case, allowing his placement on the ballot to be challenged. This comes after a previous ruling that a portion of the Indiana Code preventing Rust from running as a Republican was unconstitutional. Rust remains on the ballot currently, pending a decision by the Indiana Election Commission, and he has expressed willingness to take the matter to the U.S. Supreme Court if necessary.

"Delphi Murders Judge Denies Defense Motion to Disqualify Over Destroyed Evidence"

The judge in the Delphi murders case has denied a motion to disqualify without a hearing, citing a prior ruling from the Indiana Supreme Court, after the defense team sought to remove Special Judge Fran Gull from the case. The attorneys for Richard Allen, the defendant in the case, had pushed for Gull to be replaced or recused from the proceedings, but the Indiana Supreme Court denied their request. The prosecutor is seeking to level two additional counts of murder against Allen, and a hearing is scheduled to weigh the additional charges and a bid to hold Allen's attorneys in contempt over an evidence leak and gag order violations.

"Delphi Murders Case: Prosecutor Seeks Additional Charges Against Suspect"

Carroll County Prosecutor Nicholas McLeland filed new felony charges against Richard Allen, the suspect in the Delphi murders case, adding two counts of felony murder and two felony counts of kidnapping to the existing charges of two counts of murder. The Indiana Supreme Court heard arguments about reinstating Allen's original defense team, and while the court ordered the reinstatement of the defense team, it did not remove the judge or order the trial to commence within 70 days. It remains uncertain whether the new charges will impact the trial date or if the court's decision will further affect the case.

"Indiana Supreme Court Considers Delphi Murder Case Appeals"

The Indiana Supreme Court ordered the reinstatement of Richard Allen's original defense team in the high-profile murder case of Abby Williams and Libby German, but did not remove Judge Fran Gull from the case or order the trial to commence within 70 days. The court heard arguments from Allen's attorneys, Judge Gull, and the Indiana Attorney General's Office, with Allen contending that Gull overstepped her authority by removing his chosen defense team, while the Attorney General's Office argued that Allen should use the appeal process. The trial remains set for October.

Indiana Supreme Court Reprimands AG Todd Rokita for Controversial Fox News Comments

Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita has been publicly reprimanded and fined $250 by the Indiana Supreme Court for making remarks about an abortion doctor that amounted to "attorney misconduct." Rokita accused the doctor of being an "abortion activist" with a history of failing to report similar procedures to state officials. The court found that Rokita's comments violated professional conduct rules and had a substantial likelihood of prejudicing an adjudicative proceeding. Rokita has been ordered to issue a prompt and sincere apology to the doctor.

Indiana Supreme Court Upholds Controversial Abortion Ban, Denies Rehearing and Appeals

The Indiana Supreme Court has denied a request for a rehearing of the abortion ban preliminary injunction, certifying their June decision that the near-total abortion ban signed in August 2022 does not violate the state's constitution. The court's decision, with a 4-1 vote, overturns the preliminary injunction that blocked the ban. The ACLU of Indiana had requested the rehearing, arguing that the right to abortion is protected under the state constitution. The ban, known as Senate Bill 1, prohibits most abortions in the state, with exceptions for cases of serious health risks to the pregnant woman, lethal fetal anomalies, and pregnancies resulting from rape or incest. The decision has immediate effect, and the ACLU of Indiana plans to continue fighting in court to clarify and expand upon the exceptions.

Indiana Abortion Ban Upheld, with Exception for Maternal Health

The Indiana Supreme Court has ruled that lawmakers can ban abortion except to protect the mother's health, vacating a temporary injunction on the state's near-total abortion ban. The court's majority stated that the state has an interest in protecting prenatal life and that the law falls within the state's power. However, the ban remains unenforceable for some individuals whose religions permit abortion due to a separate lawsuit challenging the law on religious freedom grounds. Plaintiffs and the ACLU of Indiana expressed disappointment, stating that the decision will force patients to seek abortion outside the state or carry pregnancies against their will.
